This story reminds of of something I saw not too long ago on one of my rides. Was going up Presidio, and just past Cosoy, I caught up to a father and son pair, going up that portion. The son was really into it, off the saddle, on a hybrid. As I passed, I gave him the thumbs up, "good job! Keep it up!" Hopefully, you encouraged the "carp" out of him. This will keep him going on future rides, and longer distances.

Hi Michael, I'm in a similar situation. I'm 38 years old and learning to ride an old bike in London for the first time. I've been doing it in parks for 10 minutes every other day.
